Re: Mail order Stories |
Cool
Toutatis is one of the strangest objects in the solar system, with a highly irregular shape and an extraordinarily complex "tumbling" rotation. Both its shape and rotation are thought to be the outcome of a history of violent collisions. "The vast majority of asteroids, and all the planets, spin about a single axis, like a football thrown in a perfect spiral, but Toutatis tumbles like a flubbed pass," said Dr. Scott Hudson of Washington State University. One consequence of this strange rotation is that Toutatis does not have a fixed north pole like the Earth. Instead, its north pole wanders along a curve on the asteroid about every 5.4 days. "The stars viewed from Toutatis wouldn't repeatedly follow circular paths, but would crisscross the sky, never following the same path twice," Hudson said.

Re: Mail order Stories |
Not my report I simply found it in cyberspace.
Are you a spinner or a twirler?

Euh, Jglynn, I don't really know the difference between twirler and spinner , my Harrap's dictionnary doesn't explain it either .Spinning twirls ,twirling spins ? Helix waves like DNA ?
